Chords by Joan's Genius 2001


Chorus:
G                                Bb    F
Brown skin, you know I love your brown skin
                   G                                F    G
I can't tell where yours begins, I can't tell where mine ends
G                         Bb    F
Brown skin, up against my brown skin
                G        Bb  G
Need some every now and then 


Verse 1:
G                                      Bb        F
Where are your people from? Maybe Mississippi or around
                G                       F
Apparently your skin has been kissed by the sun
                   Bb                       G
You make me want a Hershey's kiss, your licorice
G                                                Bb                F
Every time I see your lips, it makes me think of honey-coated chocolate
                G                    F
Your kisses are worth more than gold to me 
                    Bb                      G
I'll be your almond joy, you'll be my sugar daddy
(Chorus)


Verse 2:
G                                              Bb                       F
Every time you come around, something magnetic pulls me and I can't get out
             G                       F
Disoriented, I can't tell my up from down
              Bb                   G
All I know is that I wanna lay you down
G                                    Bb                  F
Every time I let you in, abracadabra magic happens as we swim
                  G                   F
Higher and higher finally we reach heaven
                       Bb                     G
Come back to earth and then we do it all again, yeah
(Chorus)


Bridge:
Bb             F              G
Skin so brown, lips so round, baby how can I be down?
Bb                  F                       G
Beautiful mahogany, you make me feel like a queen 
Bb                                    F                               G
Tell me what's that thing you do that makes me wanna get next to you, yeah
(Chorus 2x)
